There have been countless reputable publications that have showed the benefit of DEI for business profitability and also for society. What message are we sending by saying that DEI is not important?

If you’ve read this far, thanks for coming to my TED Talk ❤️

Think about this - Our own Electoral College and Senate are built on DEI principles. They give smaller states equal representation and aim to balance power and influence. 🤔

Do businesses and schools have physical accessibility for people who need it? That’s DEI.

Do businesses offer remote work? That’s DEI.

There are many more examples, but you get the point….

Does your child have an IEP or special accommodations for test taking and learning? That’s DEI.

Does your school or business offer mental health support? That’s DEI.

Does your business offer equal pay to equally qualified candidates? That’s DEI.

The misconception is that DEI impacts hiring practices - e.g. A less qualified “DEI candidate” will be hired over a more qualified, white, cisgender, neurotypical, physically able, young American male.

DEI covers more than hiring. It ensures policies are in place to allow everyone opportunity.

Let’s talk about DEI

Here is a list of groups that benefit from DEI policy.

People of color
Women
Neurodivergent people (adhd, autism, dyslexia)
Veterans
LGBTQ+
People over 50
People with disabilities
People with chronic illnesses
People from low income backgrounds
Immigrants and Refugees

The Netflix doc “Turning Point: the bomb and the Cold War” should be a required watch by Americans. Highly recommend. History does, in fact, repeat itself.

If knitting while watching your kid skateboard is what getting older is all about, I’m all in. #knitsky

Yes! And the title reminded me of the Talking Heads

Instagram and Facebook Blocked and Hid Abortion Pill Providers’ Posts Some posts related to obtaining abortion pills were recently hidden on Instagram and Facebook and some accounts were suspended, before being later restored.

Apparently, Meta’s not fact checking any more, but will attempt to censor posts that don’t align with MAGA beliefs.
